Veon and partners unite to bridge AI language gaps globally

• Veon and partners develop AI tools and documentation for under-represented languages in Pakistan, Ukraine, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Catalan to enhance inclusivity and improve user experiences.
• The initiative aims to reduce AI biases by focusing on languages lacking digital resources, contrasting with high-resource languages like English, Spanish, and Mandarin.
• By addressing the AI language gap, Veon and its partners seek to bridge the digital divide and ensure technological advancements benefit a broader global population.

Veon and partners address AI language gaps by developing tools and documentation for under-represented languages in Pakistan, Ukraine, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Catalan. They aim to enhance AI inclusivity, reduce biases, and improve user experiences by focusing on languages that lack digital resources compared to high-resource languages like English, Spanish, and Mandarin.

Veon drives AI

Veon, in collaboration with Beeline Kazakhstan, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and GSMA, addresses AI language gaps by developing tools and documentation for languages in Pakistan, Ukraine, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Catalan. This initiative enhances inclusivity in AI applications, improves user experiences, and reduces biases.

By providing more digital resources for these under-represented languages, they aim to bridge the gap with high-resource languages like English, Spanish, and Mandarin.

Reducing AI bias

A core objective of this collaboration is to reduce AI biases by focusing on languages lacking sufficient digital resources. The language models and documentation developed by Veon and its partners help distribute technological resources more equitably worldwide.

This improves the experience of users speaking these languages when using AI technology and ensures that technological advancements benefit a broader population.
